Halberstam on Belichick

In his latest book "The Education of a Coach," David Halberstam chronicles the life of Bill Belichick.

He follows the New England Patriots coach, from Belichick's Tennessee boyhood to his New England Superbowl victories.

Halberstam writes that the greatest influence on Belichick as a coach was his father, Steve, who spent 33 years scouting and coaching for the Naval Academy.

Steve Belichick passed away over the weekend at the age of 86.

David Halberstam recently spoke with Bob Oakes about Bill Belichick.
